Overview

I come to your event with a stand up easel to draw live caricatures fast ! ( I can draw a portrait in 4 minutes or less) . Perfect for corporate events, birthday parties, church and school functions, trade shows and more, it really draws a crowd. ( I am required by the cartoon guild to include that horrible pun, my apologies.)
Caricatures by Jeff always strives to to make the client and the sitter happy- I focus a little more on the likeness, because if someone does not like how they look as a cartoon- they will want to keep. I always draw "painless" caricatures at live events.

We loved Jeff!!

Jeff, was great to work with and did a phenomenal job at my client's birthday party. I love that he communicated with me before the event to confirm the details and logistics. He arrived on time and was all set up upon guests arrival. The guest all raved about their drawings which were amazing!! Thanks Jeff!!

Highly recommend Jeff!

Incredible addition to our event

We hired Jeff for a private, members-only club event, "A Night in Paris" (he arrived wearing a beret - bonus points!). Aside from being incredibly talented, Jeff was professional, personable, and overall wonderful to work with. He drew caricatures for all the guests (and also me!), and really captured each individual's personality and unique traits. 10/10 would recommend. We look forward to having him back at the Club soon!

Birthday party

Jeff came for my 8-year-old’s birthday party. By the end of the party, every single girl there was requesting he come to their parties too.

A super fun idea!

Carrie was fantastic! All of our guests enjoyed watching her draw. Carrie is very talented and professional. She took an appropriate amount of time with each guest to make them feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. Everyone was very pleased with her drawings! She even stayed a little longer to accommodate everyone. Several guests mentioned what a fun it was to have a caricaturist at our party and expressed interest in using one at their future events. Thank you for helping make our event fun and memorable!

We Enjoyed Having Jeff

We enjoyed having Jeff. With so many people at our party he had to hustle them through. He has a method, and it works. So to get as many caricatures in as possible, be ready for him to move you through. Lots of guests complimented him and they loved his work.

Awesome sauce

Jeff was great, he is really quick and does amazing work. Many of our kids went home feeling like a work of art. Can't wait to hire him again for our next school event.

A Great Person to have for an Office Event

We just had a Health Fair at our office and Jeff Mangum was one of the featured "surprise" visitors and our whole office loved him. Not only is he a true artist, but he interfaces great with folks. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!!

What to Expect

I work sitting at an easel so onlookers can watch the caricature appear in front of their eyes, and typically, laugh at the sitter, who doesn't get to see until the end. Depending on crowd size, I can draw faces only, or face body background scene. I always dress appropriately and am happy to wear theme hats or costumes (if provided).

About

Professional caricaturist for 2O+ years, I work with individuals, corporations, event planners and agencies. I confirm events beforehand, arrive on time and always act in a fun, friendly, professional manner. I also draw really nice, accurate cartoon portraits, I laugh with the sitter, not at them- I have heard too many people say they got a portrait that they hated, I want the sitter & client to keep and love the drawings! I draw "painless" caricatures at live events.
B.F.A. in Painting East Carolina University

Additional Booking Notes

Client to provide 2 chairs (total).
I have chairs if none available, enough light that you could read by it, or provide electricity I'll bring clip lights. I prefer not to be set up directly in front of large speakers when drawing.
